MSc in Public Health in Health Policy in Baltimore United States | Johns Hopkins University

The MSPH in Health Policy is a career-focused degree tailored for those aiming to build or enhance their expertise as health policy practitioners in the U.S. This intensive program combines one year of accelerated academic study with a second year of full-time professional work, creating a smooth pathway from student to policy professional. Participants gain hands-on experience in research methodologies, data analysis, and policy development, with emphasis on real-world applications across federal, state, and local government sectors. During their field placement year, students hold paid positions in diverse settings including government agencies, non-profits, consulting firms, and advocacy organizations. The second-year curriculum complements rather than disrupts their professional work, featuring career-enhancing activities and practical assignments that reinforce their policy skills. Students may also opt for online coursework during this year to further their professional growth.
